We definitely have more and more options these days for protecting ourselves from the sun without taking anything away from the decor — or rather, adding to it. One of these options, which has also been the “breakout product” of the summer, is PARASOLS.
Parasols have been one of the star solutions this summer because they have plenty of advantages, such as:
You can enjoy the outdoors while avoiding direct sun
-
They’re quite versatile
-
Very decorative
-
They fold away easily and take up little space, making them easy to store
-
Unlike pergolas, they don’t require complex installation
-
Unlike awnings, once summer is over you can pack them away and bring them out again the following year.
There’s a wide variety of models (hexagonal, octagonal, square, rectangular, etc.) made from walnut-coloured wood with a special treatment for outdoor exposure, in white aluminium, in stainless steel, among others. In other words, there are various colours and shapes to choose from to create and decorate.

Operating them is as straightforward as it is varied: by motor, by a crank handle on the mast, or with a locking system for the simpler, more affordable parasols.

They’re so easy to install that most people fit them themselves. There are three types of installation, depending on how you plan to use the product:
-
Sleeve base fitted into the ground + reinforced footing
-
Base plate bolted to the ground
-
Surface base
